You're Ready to Collaborate! 🎉 (33+/40)

Great news! Whether you're exploring partnerships or already collaborating, your score shows you have strong foundations. You have the capacity, strategic clarity, and relationship skills to pursue effective collaborations. You're ready to focus on finding the right partners and designing effective structures.

Your Next Steps

  1. Identify 2-3 potential partner organizations that share your values and bring complementary strengths.

  2. Start exploratory conversations using these questions:

    • What gaps are you trying to address through partnership?

    • What value do you bring to potential partners?

    • How do you approach community engagement and equity?

  3. Design the right partnership structure from the start.

Your Recommended Partnership Structure

Based on your responses to the structure questions:

  • If you selected "minimal structure" and "information sharing": You likely need an Informal Network - perfect for staying connected and sharing resources without heavy infrastructure.

  • If you selected "moderate structure" and "joint activities": You likely need a Collaborative Partnership - great for joint programs with clear roles but not formal governance.

  • If you selected "significant structure" and "coordinated strategy": You likely need a Formal Coalition - necessary for sustained coordination on complex challenges. This is where I specialize.

  • If you selected "extensive structure" and "systemic impact": You likely need Collective Impact - the most intensive model for population-level change.
